My Brother's Wedding
Last Sunday, was my brother's wedding day. The morning session was a tiring day for my brother and parents as my brother need to leave his house at 5am and to return home by 9.30am. He need to fetch his wife in JB.
In order to leave house on time, my brother woke up early to get ready. My parents help him to comb his hair to symbolise long life, good life.
He have 4 cars, 8 "Brothers" and my husband, the videoman, going to JB to fetch his bride. He and his "Brothers"were being "tortured" by doing push ups, pole dancing, drink a big bottle of coke, an unknown mixture of drink and bursting of balloons with flour inside. After going through all the obstacle, he got his bride.
When he was back home, they rest for a while before having a tea ceremony. At around 2 plus, they checked in to the hotel.
He held his wedding at Holiday Inn Atrium at Havelock Road. This hotel used to be Concorde and it is opposite my mum's place.
I was to help out the reception counter for his wedding and collecting "Ang Pows" of course. I was the richest person that night. LOL
His wedding reception began at 8.30pm. Everything goes well for the night. After the toasting, my brothers gave a little speech. Not sure if he was nervous or forgotten what he want to say, he keep repeating some of the things. At one point while thanking my mum, he got emotional as my mum really take good care of us despite she was sick herself. When my brother got emotional, myself and many others also feel emotional. So he ended his speech by saying that he dont want to got emotional further.
After that my brother are being ask questions on how much he know his wife. Some of the questions are funny that made most of us laugh. The trick of the game, is that no matter my brother answer correcly or not, he had to drink. My cousin, Gina, helped him to drink a glass of red wine. His "Brother", Guorong, helped him to drink 1 glass of hard liqour.
After the questions, they returned to the seats. After awhile, they went round the tables to take photos. When the banquet ended, my brother was drunk as some of his friends make him drunk and toast with him.
This was the first time i saw my brother so drunk. Have being siblings for 28 years and staying in the same house for 24 years, i never saw him drunk before. i believed that he was very happy that he got married and share the joy with his family, relatives and friends.
I was also happy for him too.

Jacky Cheung's Concert
Jacky Cheung's World Tour Concert last weekend was a great show indeed. We almost didnt get to see the beginning of the show.
On the way to Singapore Indoor Stadium, my husband's bike encountered problem. It stopped suddenly and it wont ignited again. We almost reached Singapore Indoor Stadium. We pushed the bike to a safe area and took a cab to Singapore Indoor Stadium.
By the time we reached Singapore Indoor Stadium, it was already 8.25pm. The show supposed to start at 8pm so both of us thought that we missed half hour of the show. Who knows, when we went in, the show just about to start.
Thank God that we didnt missed the show as it was a GREAT show.
Jacky started the show with a few fast number of cantonese songs. After that he chat with us. He really sang alot of songs which were great hits. At around 10pm, he started his Theatre Show, scenes & songs from Snow Wolf Lake and the songs from the movie, Perhaps Love. It lasted for 30 mins.
After that, Encore from the audience and Jacky came back with so many songs which lasted for 1 hour. The concert ended at 11.30pm.
It was really worth the price that i pay for.

With so many happy events, i thought Year 2007 will be a happy year for me until a few sad events happened.
The saddest event for me was that My granny passed away. She was still ok when i was having my wedding in July. Who would expect that she just passed away just like that. It is really sad for my whole family. Although my granny is a naggy old lady but she is still nice to us.

X'mas Party in Office
On 24th Dec 07, my company organised an X'mas party with a small token of $3 from the participant. I am not sure if it the $3 is the culprit or otherwise, Not many people registered for it when we last counted on 21st Dec 07. On the actual day, almost a 100 of people join in, so it is not so bad though..
As i am the game organiser, i need to be at the venue earlier to make sure everything goes well. There is a delay in starting off the party as the food didnt arrive at the stipulated time. To keep everyone awake, i started one game know as Folding Newspaper.
It is a simple game. Each team comprises two members and all they need to do is to keep their body on the surface area of the newspaper. The surface area will get smaller as the newspaper are being folded into halves each round. The only team remains will be the winner. As the newspaper become smaller, there is no way it can be folded and a tie break is being down and a team of woman won the game.
After this game, lunch begins. I didnt eat much as i didnt feel like eating. After 30 minutes, we did a gift exchange for the first 20 people. Then, the second game started.
It is obstacle game and the team have to go through 3 sets of obstacle. First obstacle is to find the chocolates hidden inside a basin full of other items like straws, flour, pebbles and small items. Next obstacle is passing of rubber bands through the use of straws. All team members will line up in straight line holding the straws with their mouth and pass the rubber bands through the straws. All 10 rubbers must go through the process and into the container place next to the bench. Last obstacle is to eat up the pocky sticks hanging on a string. First team to complete the three obstacles wins.
Before we start the game, one of the guy of a team was not spontaneous enough to play as there is flour involved. There was delay for a while cos i need to a replacement for him. Dont understand why he is such a big size guy, so worried about the flour which can be dust off easily.
I was really disappointed and a few of my friends thought i am going to drop my tears.. LOL.. Nevertheless, the game still proceed and they have a great fun. As time is running short, we couldnt play more games and we proceed to lucky and gift exchange.

Learning A new Craft
I went to my friend, Jullie's house to learn Crocheting. It is similar to knitting but it uses only one knitting needle instead of two. Moreover, if there is a mistake on the looping, it can be unstitch easily but for knitting you have to unpick it.
The first thing taught by Jullie is how to how the yarn and the needle. As i am a left hander, she need to demostrate to me many times to make sure i am clear how to hold them. After that i tried to hold it and it seems easy to hold them. The difficult part to start moving your fingers to release and tightening the yarn.
After that, she demostrate to me on how to do the basic step - Doing Chain. Chain is the basic step to start. When i saw her how to do... it seems so easy but it is NOT!!!
Just doing chain alone, you need to take note a few things. The chain cant be too small cos it will be very tight which is no good as you need the loop to do other loop such as single chain loop or double chain loop. If the basic chain is too big, the final outlook of the pattern will be of very big loop thus not nice.
Just doing the chain alone, i spent near to 3 hours just trying to make it of the correct loop. My fingers were aching. Jullie said that that it is norm to feel the pain as it is first time doing it. I think it is because my fingers are too stiff.
After doing the chain, Jullie taught me on the single chain loop which will loop into the chain. The first set is also not easy but the subsequent loop is much easier. after i finish the 2nd loop, it is already 6pm. It is time for me to go as i am meeting my mum n sister for dinner.
Jullie gave me a small ball of yarn to practice before i buy my own yarn. She said she can lend me the needle but i told her it is ok as i buy it and do the practicing. I want to learn this technique so that i can handmade my own gift for family and friends.
She have many crocheting books and she said i can borrow them if i want to.
Now, i am going to practice every night so that i can make my first crocheting this weekend. After that i am going to ask Jullie to teach me the double chain loop and i can borrow patterns from her.
Jullie, thanks for teaching me the basic technique of crocheting.
